seeds as commons

Seeds as commons refer to the shared resource of seed varieties that are collectively owned and accessible to farmers, breeders, and communities. Rather than individual ownership, these seeds are managed collaboratively, promoting biodiversity, innovation, and resilience in agriculture. This approach supports the sustainable use of genetic diversity, enabling communities to adapt to changing environmental conditions and reduce dependence on commercial seed corporations. In essence, seeds as commons foster a spirit of cooperation that sustains agricultural diversity and food security for current and future generations.
